Kuo's Jacks Eliminate Lewis

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Romain Lewis was down to under 50,000 and open-shipped all in for 48,500 from under the gun. Kitty Kuo asked for a count in middle position and then made the call.

Kitty Kuo: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Romain Lewis: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Kuo was ahead with her pair of jacks but the flop of {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} brought some excitement. Lewis picked up a straight draw although a set for him would be no good. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and the river paired the board with the {10-Hearts}. Kuo's pocket jacks held up to send Lewis to the rail.
